Nice problem, sounds like you had fun making it. I was hoping you might post a solution; maybe you can use the same type of HTML that kongstad did?
I have two possible answers; one is the same as kongstad. I don't think I'm going to be able to figure out how to eliminate one. I'm interested in seeing your solution (or at least what "critical" steps were necessary or where you think "common pitfalls" will occur) to figure out what I'm not doing that I need to do.
LOL, thanks Mike for your hard work to explain. Didn't help. So, I'll ask you a specific question. Although, I feel that these black boxes are getting out of control.
I got one solution for assuming west=right and one solution for west=left. How do I figure out what direction west is (left or right)?
